Glad that the updates were made. It's nice that Avians finally have the hair options and that the other items were added.

Somewhat frustrated that they:

1) Weren't pre-announced (I'd have liked to have copied down some of my lesser played character's looks before having them wiped).

and

2) Weren't placed back where we'd logged out from. Normally - not a big deal, but I'd gone through a lot of effort to have my primary character in a spot she can't get to without assistance...and with my hours, finding someone to help again is quite difficult.

Announcement: Soon select races will be allowed to rechoose features again with the new Character Management System.

If your character is Elven, Rurowli, Half-Rurowli, Drago, Half-Drago, Goblin, Half-Goblin, Troll, or Half-Troll, you will automatically be put through the reselection process. Half-Elves and other races will not.

If you need to make preparations (ie making note of current features to keep the same), please do so now. It will be approximately 2 hours (from this posting) before the changes are implimented (approximately 6:00 pm EST). Thank you, that is all!

Minotaurs and Half-Minotaurs will also be able to choose additional features with the new Character Management System. Again, if you are one of these races, you will automatically be made to reselect your features. Time until changes implemented: approximately 95 minutes.

Now that the new system is in place, there really is no way to tell what your description was on your characters, even if you weren't forced to reselect upon login.

The reason for this is that the way descriptions are rendered in the system (ie how they appear when someone LOOKs at you) has been changed with the new system. So, now that the changes are live, you wouldn't be able to discern your old descriptions unless you took them from old logs where you LOOKed at yourself.

I do apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you, but perhaps you will be able to come close to the descriptions if you wish to stick to your old choices. There are also several new options available for many races, so it could be a nice experience to start anew.

The way the previous system worked is radically different from the new. In most cases, the list of descriptions isn't compatible, which produced different descriptions for characters than they had previously selected. As another player pointed out, some warning ahead of time would have been the best way to go, but it was unexpected that the re-designing of this system would cause this problem.

Also, if you have a custom character description (C.C.D.), you will not lose it. Simply choose your features as prompted and when you exit the character manager, you'll still have the custom description.

Would it be possible to add a mirror or look prior to final acceptance for those people who have not done this yet?

I unfortunately did log in and made my choices and now that I see the final product don't like how it came out. I would have been helpful to have a mirror or something to see what my character looked like before I accepted.

Aye having the maximum character limit I found that with the serveral characters I do not play with, I got confused on which race they were *slaps her forehead* hehe, most of the descriptions turned out livable, though I may need to reroll a couple of them. Definately some way to confirm your overall look at the end would be helpfull.

Just a thought.

There is now a FEATURES option at the final menus for all races in the Character Management System. This option will show your current features PRIOR to the final choice. If you want to see what you look like with each of the final choices, simply choose the option number WITHOUT confirming. You will be given another look at your physical features before CONFIRMing your choice and entering the live gaming environment.

This is in effect for all new character creations. For those of you who were unsatisfied and/or disappointed with how the final descriptions of your characters came out, please ASSIST in game and a staff member will relocate you to the CMS so you may rechoose your features.
